Do Jay Z, Rihanna, & Kanye "Run This Town"? (video)

Much is being made of the trio's upcoming appearance on Leno's debut show in September. What are your thoughts on the song & video? Is it a good comeback vehicle for Rihanna? Do her vocals on the "heyyyy" part annoy? (Is that called a leading question?) Does the video help the song? Thoughts?

People.com features the video w/a poll:

lol, you really love huh? I liked the guitar riff on the song and the beat, but wasn't crazy about anything else. The video helped a little bit, I think.

It jumped from #66 to #3 on this week's Hot 100. If it knocks BEP's "I Gotta Feeling" outta the top spot and keeps Miley Cyrus' "Party in the U.S.A." from being #1, I won't be mad....I'll say that much. lol lol

^Yeah on this other website I go to it's a big joke to call her Prince.Her hair looks terrible to me. It was better around the time of Umbrella. I guess it's hard for her because she has to disguise her forehead.

Tmz once joked that Prince is trying to look like Rihanna, but they got that wrong. Rihanna rountinely copies popular looks/figures from the '80s! She's jocked Madonna, MJ and Prince. I see her. This hairstyle is not her best, though. She doesn't touch up her hair enough to rock this style properly. It looks like tracks in the middle and then a little natural on the sides or something...lol
